Sumptuous Shops | Edible BC

We met the people who run Edible BC, a company that provides culinary tours in Vancouver and the surrounding areas. The tours are small (they will accomodate up to eight people) and they visit places such as Chinatown, Commercial Drive, Granville Market, and the Richmond Night Market. Cecilia Yong, one of the partners, explained that the tours are focused on what is unique to the specific area, providing lots of information on where to shop, and what ingredients to buy but most importantly what to do with them! Sampling different foods also takes place during the tour and if that isn't enough for some, they can tack on a meal afterwards.

Their retail store has just opened up in the Granville Market and after meeting and talking with them we are eager to try out a tour ourselves. We live close to Chinatown and shop for some fruits and vegetables there. There is a large selection of produce to choose from but, unfortunately, we don't know what a lot of it is or how to prepare it. I am only mentioning the produce but there is an incredible amount of dried goods, teas, bakeries, and restaurants to experience also.  Without the help of a professional it would be difficult to learn about all of the hidden treasures out there.

So if you live in Vancouver or are planning to visit it soon, here is one more interesting thing to experience.
